Google Catches Chinese Nuke Sub


Googe Earth's satellite mapping of our planet has caught the first public images of China's new SSBN missile sub shown above at dockside.
The Jin-class, Type 094 sub carries an arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles believed capable of striking anywhere within the US.
There doesn't seem to be anything particularly new to the technology, just that the Chinese navy now has added this capability. US intelligence officials believe China to be building five Jin-class boats.
